How strong are the recreational marijuana products?

Recreational marijuana products range in strengths and dosages. Everyone responds differently to marijuana as there is no consistent measurement of effects. We encourage all new customers to start low and go slow to learn how it affects them and to become familiar with their consumption limits. Don’t be shy asking for help at the dispensary – our highly trained staff will answer any questions you may have.

Will there be discounts on recreational marijuana?

Consistent with alcohol, MA will not allow any discounts on our recreational marijuana products. However, on the medical side, we will continue to provide discounts and promotions to our medical marijuana patients.

Are you cash only?

Nope, we also debit cards as an alternate form of payment

Consumption

Consumption of recreational marijuana may only occur in privately designated areas where smoking and/or vaping is allowed. This does not include Theory Wellness (Great Barrington or Bridgewater) dispensaries. Please keep in mind that public consumption of marijuana may result in fines.

Transportation

Am I allowed to drive after using recreational marijuana?

No, it is prohibited and dangerous.

What are the rules for transporting recreational marijuana products?

Transporting recreational marijuana is similar to transporting alcohol wherein you cannot have an open container of recreational marijuana or marijuana products in the passenger area. An “open container” is defined as having a package with a broken seal or a package from which contents have been partially removed.

General Questions

Can I purchase recreational marijuana at the Theory Wellness Bridgewater dispensary?

Unfortunately, you will not be able to purchase recreational marijuana at Theory Wellness Bridgewater. Bridgewater’s town council voted to forego the sales of recreational marijuana but will continue to allows medical marijuana sales.

What is the benefit of obtaining a medical marijuana card once recreational marijuana sales are legal?

A medical marijuana license, which must be obtained through a licensed physician, will provide access to higher doses of medical marijuana products to treat a range of medical conditions. Medical marijuana patients will not be subjected to the additional 20 percent sales tax and will receive a variety of discounts, promotions and other incentives that won’t be available to recreational customers. They will also be given priority access into the store, avoiding recreational lines. If you are interested in becoming a patient, you can learn more here.
